How Do Hackers Hack? ♂
Stealing customer data (such as passwords & credit cards) is perhaps the most common objective of hackers today. There are many ways that this can be done, with some of the more common methods explained below.
Whenever you type something into a website such as your name, address, or credit card number, then this should normally just be stored in a database. Sounds simple enough, huh?
But because of the way websites work, certain sequences of characters can instead trick the website into interpreting whatever is typed as an instruction, allowing hackers to take over and control the website. This is known as "SQL Injection" ("SQL" is a type of computer code).
The attackers may then exploit this to display all the usernames & passwords the website has, they may use it to steal all stored credit card details, or they could even delete all of the website's files and stop it from working (another form of Denial of Service!).
By the way, SQL injection (indeed, any form of hacking) is illegal so don't start experimenting - even attempting it can land you in jail! If you're curious about it and want to learn more (so that you can defend against it if you run your own website) then there are plenty of resources available.
Websites can be incredibly complicated these days, with huge amounts of computer code running them. With this complexity can come vulnerabilities.
As well as the SQL Injection mentioned above, there are many other different categories of common website attacks. These all effectively involve interacting with and maniplating the website in ways for which it wasn't designed, often leading to unexpected results. It could, for example, involve:
A flaw in how Facebook implemented the "View As" feature, revealed in 2018, reportedly would have allowed anyone to take control of anyone else's Facebook account. Given that Facebook is commonly used as a means of logging in to other websites, this means accounts on those websites could also have been affected too.
Attackers can also target the systems that run the website. In 2017 the US credit reference agency Equifax failed to keep software up to date, allowing hackers access to steal the credit files of over 140 million individuals.
The excellent OWASP website periodically publish their "Top 10" list of website weaknesses - if you're technically minded (and it is technical) then this is a really interesting read.
Whilst website attacks such as SQL injection can be used to steal large amounts of data in one go, they can require a bit of skill and patience to pull off (especially if the site being targetted has some basic defences in place). Instead, it can be easier for hackers to try a phishing attack.
This is where the criminal will create a realistic copy of a genuine website, such as a popular bank, and send a spoofed email to millions of people with a link to the site. If any user follows the link & logs in, then the attackers can simply grab their username and password as they type it. Often these sites then silently redirect the victim to the real site so they don't suspect anything is wrong.
It was a phishing attack against Twitter employees that, in 2020, gave hackers access to 130 of the most popular Twitter accounts, including those of Barack Obama, Elon Musk, Kanye West, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg, Apple, and Uber.
If a hacker is struggling to attack a company they're targetting, then how about finding another weak spot - namely a supplier?
It's not uncommon for criminals to target the supply chain as a route into a company. Perhaps the biggest (known) case in history happened in 2020, when hackers managed to add some malicious code into a software product made by SolarWinds, a company who's software is relied upon by some of the worlds biggest businesses to help run their IT networks. This led to the data, networks and systems of thousands of organisations across the world being compromised, including many government organisations.
Other major supply chain attacks include the "NotPetya" ransomware attack in 2017 that crippled many businesses and caused an estimated US$10 billion in damage globally, as well the 2021 attack against the software company Kaseya that led to ransomware encrypting the files of hundreds of companies.

Engaging with or hiring a black hat hacker is illegal, unethical, and strongly discouraged. Black hat hacking involves unauthorized access to systems, data theft, and other malicious activities that violate laws and ethical standards. Instead of pursuing this route, consider the following ethical and legal alternatives:
If You're Seeking Cybersecurity Help:
Hire Ethical Hackers (White/Gray Hat):
- Certified Professionals: Look for certified ethical hackers (CEH) or penetration testers through reputable cybersecurity firms.
- Bug Bounty Platforms: Use platforms like HackerOne or Bugcrowd to legally identify vulnerabilities in your systems.
- Cybersecurity Firms: Contact companies specializing in cybersecurity audits and penetration testing.
Strengthen Your Defenses:
- Invest in firewalls, encryption, and employee training to prevent breaches.
- Regularly update software and conduct security assessments.
If You're a Victim of Hacking:
Report to Authorities:
- Contact law enforcement (e.g., FBI IC3, local cybercrime units) or national cybersecurity agencies.
- File a report with your country’s data protection authority (e.g., GDPR agencies in the EU).
Seek Professional Assistance:
- Work with cybersecurity experts to mitigate damage and recover data.
- Use identity theft protection services if personal data was compromised.
Risks of Engaging Black Hat Hackers:
- Legal Consequences: You could face fines, criminal charges, or imprisonment.
- Scams: Many "hackers for hire" are fraudsters who may extort money or steal your data.
- Ethical Harm: Contributing to illegal activities harms individuals, businesses, and society.
Final Note:
Cybersecurity should always align with the law and ethics. Focus on proactive protection and collaborate with trusted professionals to address concerns safely. If you suspect vulnerabilities, act responsibly—never compromise integrity for quick fixes.
